Mermaid Scene, New Collage Sheet and a Giveaway

The base and back of this project are made from two of the new Die-Cut Mermaid Tails from Alpha Stamps.  Most of the images I used are from my new The Deep Blue Sea Collage Sheet.

This sheet contains fun mermaids and sea creatures.


THE DETAILS
To get the images to stand up on the base of the piece I used two layers of double stick foam tape.  The tape gives me an edge to glue to the base.  I used sand and other dimensional rock chips to cover the tape and to add dimension to the base.
If you look closely, you’ll see a Tiki mask from an ancient civilization.

Your project is so stunning, beautiful, and just down right awesome! I could never make anything as beautiful as yours. I was thinking about those collage sheets since they went up for sale. Now I just cant do it cuz I would be so mad at myself, for not being able to come close to your project. And I would not know where to start all on my own.Super great job!
